Loy58, please don't assume that my opinion regarding the MAP scores is more valid than your own. Your DD's MAP reading score may actually be DYS level but it is not obvious to me - that's all.
My reasoning stems from my minimalist bias and the idea that it is better to present the strongest evidence and not clutter your portfolio with items that may dilute its strength. If DYS won't accept the WASI as IQ so that you have to do a portfolio, then you may want to focus on adding documentation that are more IQ-ish then achievement-ish. In that case, the WASI scores will be far more relevant and a top choice for the portfolio. Measures like Cogat or CTY SCAT are also partly IQ-ish and would be a better choice than MAP. My other thought was that the MAP Math score definitely did not look DYS level to me and it's on the same report as the MAP reading. If you get the sense that the MAP Reading is higher than the other test scores that you have, then by all means include that in your portfolio.
I really don't want to steer you wrong - my opinion is just one among many and I am no more qualified than anyone one else to guess what would appeal to Davidson.
